Warwickshire Energy Efficiency Advice Centre

Warwickshire Energy Efficiency Advice Centre (WEEAC) is a 'not for profit' organisation and a registered environmental charity. Our purpose is to promote energy conservation by providing free and impartial advice to householders and small businesses in Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Coventry.

WEEAC is part of the Energy Saving Trust network of 52 centres that provide similar services across the whole United Kingdom.

WEEAC was created in 1998 by Stratford-on-Avon District Council to assist them in meeting their obligations under the Home Energy Conservation Act 1995. The Centre became independent of the Council in April 1999 and is based in the Warwickshire village of Wellesbourne. We continue to work with central and local government and social landlords to achieve their energy efficiency, sustainable energy and affordable warmth objectives.

WEEAC provides a range of free energy advice and information services to the general public in Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Coventry to help you make your home use less energy, have lower fuel bills, be more comfortable and have less of an adverse impact on the environment, including:-

• telephone advice and information on your best options for saving energy. To speak to a trained energy adviser call freephone 0800 512 012. Our office is manned from 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday excluding public holidays. If you want us to call you back, you can leave a message on our answering machine.
• information on national and local grants and discount schemes for improving your home to make it more energy efficient. We can also supply contact details for local contractors that will help you.
• visit your home in certain circumstances to give you on the spot advice.
